Year 5 Syllabus

Year Level Description

Year 5 Indonesian: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required of students to communicate in the Indonesian language developed in Year 4 and focuses on extending their oral and written communication skills and their understanding of Indonesian language and culture.

Students communicate in Indonesian, initiating interactions with the teacher and peers to share information about their home, neighbourhood and local community. They participate in guided tasks, planning outings or activities and completing transactions. They gather, compare and convey information from a range of spoken, written and multimodal texts related to their personal and social worlds. Students share responses to characters, events and ideas in imaginative texts and make connections with their own experience and feelings. They create or reinterpret, present or perform imaginative texts, based on or adapted from events, characters or settings.

Students become familiar with the systems of the Indonesian language, noticing pronunciation of phonemes such as ng/ngg/ny in the middle of words. They use context-related vocabulary and develop and apply knowledge of grammatical elements in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for a range of purposes such as describing the location of items in the home and of places in the local community using prepositions and adjectives. Students build a metalanguage in Indonesian to describe patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures.

Students are noticing how their own and others’ ways of communicating and using language is shaped by the communities that they belong to and how this affects intercultural communication. They recognise that while Bahasa Indonesia is the official language of Indonesia, for the majority of Indonesians, it is one of a number of languages that they use for communication.

In Year 5 students are widening their social networks, experiences and communication repertoires in both their first language and Indonesian. They are supported to use Indonesian as much as possible for classroom routines and interactions, structured learning tasks, and language experimentation and practice. English is predominantly used for discussion, clarification, explanation, analysis and reflection.

Achievement standard

At standard, students initiate, with some guidance, interactions in Indonesian with their teacher and each other through guided tasks, class experiences, activities and transactions, to exchange information about their home, neighbourhood and local community. They use mostly familiar descriptive and expressive language to participate in tasks or activities, or to provide information, such as Di belakang rumah saya ada kolam renang.

They share simple responses to characters, events and ideas in imaginative texts and make simple connections with their own experience and feelings. They create and present, with guidance, imaginative texts for different audiences, based on or adapted from events, characters or settings. Students translate, with a satisfactory level of accuracy, simple texts from Indonesian to English and vice versa, showing some awareness that there are words or phrases that require interpretation or explanation. They use dictionaries, with guidance, and word lists to translate short familiar texts. Students identify ways of communicating in Australian and Indonesian-speaking contexts, and ways in which culture influences language use.

Students apply the pronunciation of phonemes and of loan words from English with a satisfactory level of accuracy. They use vocabulary and develop and apply knowledge of grammatical elements in simple spoken and written texts, with a satisfactory level of accuracy.
